Amateurs will be tested not just by the altitude and precision required at The Broadmoor, but also by a field filled with past U.S. Open and U.S. Senior Open champions, PGA Tour winners, and global legends. Among the amateur stories to watch: Todd White, a U.S. Senior Amateur and R&A Senior Amateur champion; Daniel Sullivan, a U.S. Senior Amateur runner-up; and Christian Raynor, who qualified through both stages and will make his third U.S. Senior Open appearance after a T60 finish in 2023.

Several amateurs in the field have USGA championship pedigrees or compelling personal stories—such as Chris Devlin, who overcame major health obstacles to return to the U.S. Open stage and Dave Bunker, a respected Canadian mid-amateur and high school coach with international experience. Their journeys bring color and depth to a field traditionally dominated by PGA Tour Champions regulars.

As play begins at The Broadmoor, AmateurGolf.com will track round-by-round performance, scoring summaries, and key storylines for each amateur competing against the world’s best seniors.

ABOUT THE U.S. Senior Open

The U.S. Senior Open is one of 15 national championships conducted by the USGA. Open to amateurs and professionals who have reached their 50th birthday as of the first day of the championship.

The Senior Open was first played in 1980 with a purse of, get this, just $100,000. Roberto Vincenzo of Argentina was the inaugural champion (winning $20,000), and Arnold Palmer was a popular winner the following year in 1981 at Oakland Hills.
